NBC News aired this conversation on Sunday at the height of the debt struggle, via Ace of Spades HQ:

Andrea Mitchell: There has always been anger and animus in among leaders and among the followers — the rank and file, the caucus. But these new members really are willing to tear the place down. And they not only don’t care whether or not are re-elected — they don’t want pork (laughs). There are no inducements to get them to follow the speaker or the other leaders. So they don’t want the traditional methods of buying loyalty here and that was a reform that now has changed the dynamic.

Brian Williams: All right, Andrea Mitchell from our Washington newsroom. Wish there was better news to report to folks especially about our era in government.

Principled representatives who care about saving the country rather than pork and reelection? What’s the world coming to? More importantly, what’s going to become of the malignant statist establishment personified by dinosaurs like Andrea Mitchell and Brian Williams if the Tea Party keeps growing?

Two idiots. I remember when Brian(na) bowed to King Mutt. What a douchebag.

Better news?!? Now I know who was drinking the Kool-Aid. This is great news, principled representatives that are unwilling to play the game by the corrupt rules, this proves without a doubt that the MSM just don’t get it. These Tea Party reps do want to be reelected, by the same people that elected them in the first place. The U.S. has reached a era in which people who state their intentions and follow through on them are portrayed as negative stereotypes.

Regarding the drivel posted by “Truthseeker”, I do not see any connection to the above posting about NBC News. He seems to enjoy his perpetual anger and rage. Ok, so let us talk about that “distant subordinate of Holder” and let us invoke that oft repeted line; What did the President know and when did he know it? I am sure that will get another boring rant by “Truthseeker” of how Bush is the root of all evil, as well as how everything that was wrong in the world, is wrong in the world and will be wrong in the world is his fault. Absolutely mind numbing boring.

Well we’re about to find out, beause the TEA Party is headed nowhere but UP after their recent ascension… there’s a new sheriff in DC

Right-on. George Washington Carver was the oppressor of peanuts.

It seems that (the new) lao can not come up with any thing more creative or new that tired and trite phrase of “Power to the People”. I suppose it will be a question of when and not if he uses that stupid and vapid line of “speaking the truth to power”. In the socialist workers paradise that he is so enamored of, the state security police would have had him already taken to some cell to be shoot. He is classical example of a useful idiot.

The problem with these hacks is that they have dug down so deep in their own soiled diapers, you could play their own words back to them a thousand times, and they would still simply shrug

Anything that is natural to human instinct, preservation, and advancement will make most any liberal foam at the mouth.

Of course – that could be drool… Liberals are sick.

Dave,

Someone else said it, I HAVE to agree publicly.

Please implement a registration/verification standard for posters. Most people will not avoid the site if they have to register if it provides a method by which we as a community can identify and remove the garbage.

It’s too bad it has come to this, but with people like Gunther/Truthseeker writing that they HATE you and that you should be JAILED for racism, well, enough is enough.

Thoughts from the board?

Marci

The reason she lets that roll so easily off her tongue is that the minions who listen only hear her intonation, tone and disgust rather than the actual words. Look for some idiot to repeat it verbatim. Actually, I am HOPING for that. Then we can just hand the book 1984 to every one of them. Then wind the keys on their backs again…

Bob Roberts

She actually said, “hey not only don’t care whether or not are re-elected — they don’t want pork (laughs). There are no inducements to get them to follow the speaker or the other leaders. So they don’t want the traditional methods of buying loyalty here and that was a reform that now has changed the dynamic.”

Isn’t that a GOOD thing? She’s suggesting it’s bad. But it’s GOOD!

thebuckstopshere

well now, what are they suppose to say when their boss is the won’s appointed job czar? you know that guy who created 8k jobs nationwide AND 60k internationally? the very same azzhat who was reaming American companies for blaming the government & NOT hiring? the same self serving sob that owns GE, with that zero tax rate…the guy who fired that “racist” Imus………..Jeffery Immelt……..really now what are they suppose to say?

Joe Biden makes me nuts. Like a lot of other people I’m sure. But I think it’s comical he sure is for “capitalism” in this instance isn’t he? It’s his right to make money, but I feel like someone with character would have handled it differently. Geez!!

FrankW

I dunno, TS and Guunther and brs and the like were sort of funny. I usually had a difficult time differentiating between parody and actual kool aid drinkers when it came to them. However Lao, irritating as he was at least constructed arguments, and I don’t fear the trolls, but keeping them on the reservation might be a good idea, maybe limit them to one thread per day or something, maybe a Daily Open Troll Thread?

@Garpin:

Many of the left wing blogs have registration and moderation, and while it makes for a more orderly blog, it stops any dissenting ideas. I dislike the Goonthers and laos too, but letting them post is a constant reminder of what’s out there. Besides, Dave can and does remove truly offensive posts.

The real problem the damn spammers that can quickly choke a blog with crap. The recent update has attracted these vermon. Maybe WordPress has a script that can be installed to stop them.
